Was thinking it would be nice to dedicate some area of the UI to tips about things people might not know about. For example, that you can move your followers to another account, or that you can export/import a lot of stuff. Don't know where I would put it though. Any ideas?

@Gargron Make the mastodon have an exclamation mark bubble every once and a while and have it show a tip when you hover over it.

@Gargron Tips like these are more effective if they are displayed infrequently. At least 1-2 weeks appart.

At this low frequency, you can allow them to have a better space for more visibility.

@Gargron in the newer UI it could be right below the text input form. Would probably get the most attention.Just make so that it disappears or minimizes when enough text is entered.

@Gargron Maybe as part of a mini tutorial when people select the settings cog on the web UI. Something you can skip easily though.
